PATS ACQUIRE MIKE WALL FROM EVERETT

Regina SK —- This afternoon the Regina Pats acquired twenty-year-old
rgoaltender Mike Wall from the Everett Silvertips in exchange for a fifth
rround pick in the 2006 WHL Bantam Draft.
r
rIn fifty-six games with the Silvertips last season Wall posted a 24-22-8
rrecord with a 1.92 GAA. Wall’s .931 save percentage was third best in the
rleague, behind Matt Keetley of Medicine Hat & Kootenay Ice goaltender Jeff
rGlass. His ten shutouts were second best in the league behind Bryan Bridges
rof Seattle.
r
rThe 6’2″ 205lb product of Telkwa, BC is currently attending the training
rcamp of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Should Wall return to the WHL, Everett
rwill also receive future considerations from the Pats.
r
r “We felt very comfortable going forward with the goalies that we have in
rcamp but when the opportunity arose to get a player who is arguably the best
rat his position in the WHL we could not refuse. It is not a guarantee that
rhe will return from the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, but if he does we have added a
rbig piece to our team. If he does not return it will be David Reekie‘s job
rto run with, and we are confident in his ability and have all the faith in
rhim that he will do the job,” commented Pats GM Brent Parker.
